Cheng Tianyuan turned sideways and asked confusedly: "What's wrong?
What to do so early?
It’s not dark outside yet.”
Xue Ling explained with a low smile: "I have slept too much in the past two days and I have been unable to fall asleep for a long time.
You sleep a little longer, and I'll go for a walk in the back garden."
"Um."
Cheng Tianyuan muttered: "If the wind is strong, remember to add some clothes."
Xue Ling took a thin shirt and put it on, drank a glass of warm water after washing, and walked slowly around the living room to the back garden.
The garden was quiet except for the lively chirping of birds.
The lights in the big kitchen were already on, and from time to time, Old Master Li could be heard coughing slightly, as well as his singing of some unauthentic Peking Opera songs from time to time.
Xue Ling took a walk for two laps while enjoying the comfortable cool breeze in the morning. Feeling a little thirsty, she went around to the living room to pour hot water.
Unexpectedly, someone was sleeping in the big living room! Xue Ling thought it was Xiao Chong, the third child at first, but when she took a closer look - it was Chen Xinzhi! She raised her eyebrows, poured a glass of water with ease, turned around and was about to leave .
"……Mrs?"
Chen Xinzhi opened his eyes and asked confusedly: "Why did you get up so early?
Are you feeling better from the heatstroke?"
Xue Ling turned around and smiled slightly: "Okay, it's okay.
I'll go for a walk in the garden, and you can go back to sleep."
After saying this, she quietly left the living room and returned to the back garden.
The east has lit up, and a cool breeze is blowing. The wind carries the fragrance of flowers and the fresh taste of grass, which refreshes people's spirits.
Xue Ling simply put down the water glass, relaxed his limbs and did simple stretching exercises.
At this time, Chen Xinzhi brought a glass of water and walked over slowly.
Xue Lingxiao asked: "Did you wake up by me?
can not fall asleep?"
"It's okay."
Chen Xinzhi explained: "I went out last night, and when I came back, Xiaoxin was already fast asleep, so I didn't go in to disturb her.
It happened that no one was in the living room at that time, so I slept on the sofa.
I slept for six or seven hours, which is enough."
Xue Ling knew that he was busy and couldn't help but advise: "Xiaoxin is almost healed. Don't run around all the time. Just do whatever you need to do."
Don’t worry, with so many people in the family, we can definitely take good care of her.”
"Um."
Chen Xinzhi lowered his eyes and looked at the clear and transparent warm water in the cup, "Madam, you have already taken care of the Qi family. I have to say 'thank you' to you in person.
My foundation in the imperial capital is shallow and I cannot deal with them for the time being. Fortunately, you took action in time."
"My family doesn't speak the same language."
Xue Ling said warmly: "You are considered our child, and we should protect you.
Besides, you are fighting so hard for Xiaoxin, and I have to protect you both emotionally and rationally."
"Madam, you...don't blame me for being too impulsive."
Chen Xinzhi asked quietly: "If so, please just speak to me and lecture me.
You are an elder, I will never say anything back."
Xue Ling laughed, stopped stretching and sat in front of him.
"In ancient times, there was a saying that 'a beauty becomes a beauty'. You almost brought down the imperial capital because of Xiaoxin. As a half-hearted person, I have nothing but admiration for you.
One is your biological mother, and the other is your beloved woman. We wouldn't be too surprised by what extreme things you can do.
What's more, you are still calm and restrained and have not made things get out of hand. I am satisfied and admire you. How can I blame you?"
He gave the Qi family a slap in the face, and also taught He Siyuan a hard lesson.
Although he was impulsive and angry, he did not lose his mind, things were still under control, and he was very powerful in the negotiations between her and the Qi family.
"The hole He Siyuan dug this time is too big, and not everyone can cover it up.
I told Third Sister Qi that if we have to fight hard, we have absolutely legitimate reasons to stand on the side of justice, and we have the absolute strength to fight them."
Chen Xinzhi's eyes were cold and he shook his head: "Without the support of the Qi family, the He family would not dare.
The strength of the He family is far inferior to yours, so when they found out that Qi Laoqi was ill and the entire Qi family was on your side, they didn't dare to be arrogant at all."
Xue Ling smiled slightly: "I said it directly. They took the child back to heal and educate him. I also took Xiaoxin back to take good care of him. For the sake of Mr. Qi, everything was smoothed over and treated as if nothing happened.
Pass.
If I dare to pester you or make things difficult for you or Xiaoxin, then I will not be merciful and risk the entire Xue family's power.
They quickly agreed to my proposal and everything went back to zero and everything was calm."
"Lao Qi..." Chen Xinzhi asked, "What are your plans?"
Xue Ling replied: "As usual.
He is still Xiaoxin's master, and he is still the elder that we all must be filial and respectful to.
He has a noble character, is upright and upright, and is a good senior who deserves the respect and love of our juniors."
"Um."
Chen Xinzhi said quietly: "I asked someone to find a box of top-quality blood swallows.
Xiaoxin said that she was worried about his old man and wanted to visit him.
I asked her to take Xueyan over and talk to the old man."
"You can go too."
Xue Ling said.
Chen Xinzhi raised his eyebrows and hesitated slightly.
"Madam, I only met him once, and -" "He has a very good impression of you."
Xue Ling explained warmly: "Originally, I promised to leave it to him to handle the matter, but you and Ayuan couldn't wait any longer and went directly to the resort island to take action.
The old man didn't say anything in the end and stood by us from beginning to end.
Although the matter has passed, you and Xiaoxin still have to visit him in person to thank him."
"good."
Chen Xinzhi readily agreed.
Xue Ling whispered: "Don't be afraid of anything, everything will remain as usual.
What you did before, continue to do it now.
The imperial capital not only has new nobles like the He family, but also a bunch of old nobles who are still powerful.
Although the Xue family is no longer what it used to be, it is definitely capable of protecting you juniors."
"Thank you, madam."
Chen Xinzhi whispered gratefully: "Thanks to you for taking care of my business in the two years since I came to the imperial capital, otherwise it would not have been so smooth and smooth sailing."
"Ha ha!"
Xue Ling smiled and said: "I just provided some conveniences and connections, and you have to work hard for the rest.
There is no need to belittle yourself, I am very optimistic about you."
"Thanks."
Chen Xinzhi raised his glass: "Madam, if you hadn't stopped my mother from jumping off the building in time, I would have become a lonely orphan.
If it hadn't been for your family's generous help back then, my mother and I might have been homeless for many more years.
It was you and your husband who opened a new and beautiful door for me, giving our family a new lease of life.
I didn’t dare to expect to call you ‘Mom’ before. God allowed Xiaoxin and I to fall in love and know each other, and also gave me the honor to call you ‘Mom’ in the future.
I’m looking forward to it and will definitely try my best.”
Xue Ling smiled happily and raised his glass: "I'm very happy too, and feel honored."
The two of them raised their glasses and drank together. Even though it was just warm water, their hearts were full of hot, exciting and sincere emotions. At this time, no wine was better than wine.
